The African Leadership Group (ALG) is an established 18-year-old Colorado nonprofit created to serve and improve the quality of life of the African diaspora community. We do this through social, education, and economic programs such as youth empowerment, public speaking and leadership classes reaching thousands of individuals. Every year during the month of August, we host a major community event, Afrik Impact, to celebrate loudly and proudly the impact the African diaspora have on the state of Colorado. During our 2019-2023 Afrik Impact celebrations, we were both proud and honored to have the Governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, issue an honorary proclamation establishing the month of August as African Immigrant Month in the state of Colorado. We would like to invite you to join us as a sponsor at our 9th Annual Afrik Impact celebration. The theme this year is “Connecting Communities, Cultures and Continents”.
